David Harrison Horton


from Where Chinese Women Float in Space

Frailty and oceans, a monsoon
season, the desert
birds that rest, refuse to soar
paint the walls grey
when there’s no better option
walk on two feet
to keep the body
in motion


     *


Walls and periphery
oceanic
all the hometown crows (birds)
troublesome movement
of dislocated joints
a field of corn
a phantom
a five jiao note on the pavement
